The donation exercise, forms part of the Assembly's commitment to strengthening its relationship with traditional authorities and supporting the preservation of Ghana's rich cultural heritage.

The items presented included bags of maize, fish, bottled water, drums of palm oil, cartons of assorted beverages, boxes of whisky and schnapps, as well as an undisclosed cash donation from the Municipal Chief Executive.

Making the presentation at the Nungua Traditional Council, Hon. Ludwig Teye Totimeh explained that the Assembly's support was intended to assist in the preparation of kpokpoi—the traditional meal made from maize and palm oil that is central to the Homowo Festival celebrations.
